Lan Haiping could no longer bear it at this moment. He coldly said to Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan, "Don't be too arrogant. You're acting so wildly before the results are even out, aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourselves later?"
Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan suddenly burst into loud laughter. Gu Kaiyuan looked at Lan Haiping and said smugly, "President Lan, have you forgotten the lessons from previous assessments?"
Lan Haiping was also enraged. He looked at Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan and said, "Don't be too arrogant. Talk to us after you've actually beaten our Tianwu Academy!"
"Please calm down, the assessment will be over soon." Gong Jiu also didn't want the three of them to argue here, so he quickly spoke up to mediate.
Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan coldly snorted and stopped talking.
On the high platform, Murong Ziqian's beautiful large eyes stared intently at the teleportation array, a look of great anticipation on her face.
Xiao Long deliberately looked at an Elder from the Heaven Sword Sect beside him and asked, "Elder Wen, may I ask which Genius you value more this time?"
Xiao Long's words also drew Murong Ziqian's attention; she was slightly interested.
Elder Wen smiled and said, "I'm quite optimistic about Mu Chengfeng from Tianba Academy. He can be considered a Genius. As long as he can obtain a token, our Heaven Sword Sect will accept him as a Registered Disciple."
Murong Ziqian looked at Elder Wen and asked, "Elder Wen, it's not just Tianba Academy and Changfeng Academy that have geniuses."
That Elder Wen was a bit puzzled. He looked at Murong Ziqian and asked, "Zi Qian, besides Tianba Academy and Changfeng Academy, are there any other geniuses in other Colleges?"
Murong Ziqian quickly said, "For example, Tianwu Academy!"
Elder Wen said disdainfully, "If it were before, Tianwu Academy was indeed acceptable, but in recent decades, Tianwu Academy has been getting worse year by year. It can't produce any geniuses either."
"That's not necessarily true." Murong Ziqian was a bit sulky.
Xiao Long was very pleased. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to strike at Zhang Hao. He looked at another Elder from the Divine Blade Sect beside him and asked, "Elder Dai, whom do you value?"
Elder Dai stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Our Divine Blade Sect naturally values geniuses who use sabers more. I'm paying close attention to Duan Tianliu from Changfeng Academy. It's said his saber techniques are very good, having inherited the true teachings of the Elders of Changfeng Academy. The Elders of Changfeng Academy have already recommended him to me several times."
Xiao Long looked again at the Hao Xian Sect Elder who hadn't spoken. He smiled and said, "Elder Tu, what about you?"
Although Tianba Academy and Hao Xian Sect had always been at odds, they maintained a friendly facade. Therefore, Xiao Long was relatively polite to Hao Xian Sect on the surface, not being overbearing.
Elder Tu said indifferently, "I'm different from them. I'm focused on Tianwu Academy."
Elder Wen and Elder Dai both burst into laughter.
Elder Wen smiled and said, "Old Tu, you don't think you can compete with us, so you're trying to pick up scraps, right? Your Hao Xian Sect loves doing this kind of thing, and it's not the first or second time. But if you keep doing this, you won't recruit true geniuses."
"That's right, but your Hao Xian Sect's method of selecting talent is unique. Perhaps by doing this, you might actually pick up a hidden gem," Elder Dai said with a slight smile.
Although Elder Dai said so, his words carried deep sarcasm.
Elder Tu let out a cold snort but didn't speak. He seemed very disdainful.
Only Xiao Long, upon hearing that the person Elder Tu was watching was in Tianwu Academy, slightly furrowed his brow but didn't say anything.
"Zi Qian, do you think Zhang Hao can come out safely?" Xiao Long looked at Murong Ziqian and asked.
Murong Ziqian glanced at Xiao Long, slightly furrowed her delicate brows, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Long smiled casually and said, "It doesn't mean anything. I just feel that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and anything can happen in this world."
Murong Ziqian coldly said to Xiao Long, "Xiao Long, I'm telling you, I believe in him. Just give up on that idea!"
Xiao Long secretly hated in his heart: Murong Ziqian, ah, Murong Ziqian, you will know that the person you are waiting for might have already turned into dry bones by now, hahaha!
Just at this moment, the teleportation array suddenly lit up.
At this moment, people from the various Colleges had long been looking forward to it.
However, the first group to come out were the students from Flying Cloud Academy.
The mentors and Dean of Flying Cloud Academy were excited at this moment. Whatever achievements they got didn't matter; the most important thing was the safety of the students. As long as the people were there, it was half a success. This was also the idea of the mentors and Deans of the various Colleges.
After all, the death rate in this stage every year was too high. It was not uncommon for all the assessors from an entire College to die. To compete for the clearance tokens, they had to fight each other. Therefore, this stage was often called the Gate of Hell.
Soon, groups of assessors from smaller Colleges came out. The Colleges that had been waiting for their students were naturally greatly encouraged.
While some Colleges that hadn't waited for their students were saddened. Even some Colleges that welcomed their students back were a bit depressed, because the casualties were too heavy.
However, equally anxious were the mentors and Deans of the Three Great Academies.
Surprise showed on Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan's faces. Because after so long, the assessors from the two great Colleges hadn't come out. Something was wrong. Of course, both of them were still acting relatively calm at this moment, because the assessors from Tianwu Academy also hadn't come out.
"They're coming, they're coming, another group is coming out."
This time, over twenty people appeared within the teleportation array; these were the students from Nine Phoenix Academy.
Nine Phoenix Academy was the strongest College besides the Three Great Academies. Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention.
Gu Kaiyuan said with some confusion, "Strange, what's going on? Why hasn't that kid Mu Chengfeng come out yet?"
Although Xue Ping was also very puzzled, he still appeared calm on the surface and said to Gu Kaiyuan, "Don't worry, the teleportation array hasn't stopped yet. Maybe he's in the back."
For some reason, Xue Ping's heart was already a little uneasy. He naturally wouldn't forget what happened after the Shenlong Secret Realm opened last time. This moment was almost a re-enactment of that scene. That time, his Disciple Jiang Xinwu had died in the Secret Realm just like this.
"Impossible, it absolutely won't happen like this again." Xue Ping kept comforting himself in his heart.
Although Xue Ping kept comforting himself like this, the feeling of unease was still growing stronger.
Lan Haiping was also very nervous at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the teleportation array.
Just at this moment, the teleportation array, which had originally dimmed, lit up again. Another group appeared before everyone's eyes.
"I wonder who was teleported out this time?" A College mentor asked curiously.
"It should be Tianba Academy or Changfeng Academy, right? Everyone knows they are the strongest," a mentor said with a smile.
"Yes, I think so too."
